Job Description
Dreaming of sunshine, sandy beaches, and... work? How about spending your summer Mamma Mia style, doing an internship by the beach on one of Greece’s most beautiful islands, Corfu! Bella Vista Hotel, a charming gem nestled on Benitses Beach, offers an unforgettable experience where you can gain hands-on experience while soaking up the sun. Did we mention you’ll be working right next to the sea? Imagine finishing a shift and heading straight to the beach – if that’s not a mythical experience worthy of the gods, we don’t know what is! Oh, and while you’re here, don’t be surprised if you end up dancing the syrtaki or humming to the tune of "Zorba" with the locals.
About the Hotel & the Internship
Bella Vista is a small, family-owned hotel with around 50 rooms, famous for its warm hospitality and innovative management style. Located just steps from the beach and close to scenic mountain trails, it’s the perfect blend of nature and business. Corfu Town, with its lively charm, is just a 25-minute bus ride away. This means you’ll have the best of both worlds: peaceful beach vibes and the bustling energy of the town when you want it. Plus, we provide free shared accommodation, a delicious breakfast buffet, and homemade Greek lunches to keep you fueled and ready for action.
